Epic

I just finished the first draft of my WIP which came out to 163,000 words. Is that enough to describe it as an "epic saga?" Because that really sounds impressive when I think of it in my movie announcer voice: an epic saga of marriage and sibling rivalry...

(I'm pretty sure that word count will go down in the rewrite--the first draft was in 3rd person omniscient and now I'm rewriting it as 1st person.)

Re: Epic

Actually it was more like 90 days. I started slow in May and then June started putting more time into it, about 20 hours a week. Still on average that's more than 50,000 words a month so take that NanoWriMo people!
